Now that grand, beautiful actor can finally join his pals Harris, Burton and Reed for another drink, swapping stories into eternity.
Some of my earliest memories are of his film performances. As his career was roughly coeval with my life, I feel gutted at his passing, despite having expected it for some time. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your gift with us.
I’m reminded of the story of T E Lawrence’s widow, concerned about who would portray him in David Lean’s upcoming film, waiting with the director to meet the young, unknown O’Toole; as he strode towards them from outside, head down in thought, she said it was as if her long-dead husband had come back to life–he even had Lawrence’s odd, duck-footed stride down pat. Then, O’Toole raised his head and looked at her with those ethereal pale blue eyes, and she gasped in shock, saying, “It’s him…where did you find this young man?” That was his debut in film.

Without a doubt, this is the easiest and most financially rewarding job I’ve ever had. I actually started 6 months ago and this has totally changed my life. Here’s what I do… Јobs95.Сom

Mon, 16 Dec 2013 02:00:51 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=101868#comment-160644We also lost Joan Fontaine at 96 today. She starred in two Hitchcock films, Rebecca and Suspicion. There’s not a whole lot left from classic Hollywood, which saddens me. Of the top of my head, there’s still Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple and amazingly Fontaines older sister Olivia DeHavilland. Good genes in that family

“I found out the way your mind works and the kind of man you are. I know your plans and expectations – you’ve burbled every bit of strategy you’ve got. I know exactly what you will do, and exactly what you won’t, and I’ve told you exactly nothing. To these aged eyes, boy, that’s what winning looks like! “
